This event gets its own TSN broadcast for reasons of hockey and Canada, especially given the audience this year. It’s a sad indictment of the current NHL affairs north of the border that six Canadian fan bases will be hoping for a miracle during tonight’s lottery draw.
The team with the best odds last picked first in 2010. The Leafs have an 8.7% chance of moving down to 9th overall, but a 3.6% chance of moving all the way up to 1st.
